Fang Zhicheng listened attentively and heard a rustling sound outside. He immediately sat up from the bed, took two quick steps, and walked to the door. He saw Zhao Qingya came out with her hair wrapped in a shower cap and wearing a white silk nightgown. Because she had just finished a shower, there were still drops of water on her smooth forehead, and there were scattered beads on her delicate and straight nose. It was hard to tell whether it was sweat or bath water that had not been wiped away.
Fang Zhicheng's eyes wandered over Zhao Qingya's body, and he said softly, "Sister Ya, do you have a thicker quilt?"
"Is it cold?" Zhao Qingya asked doubtfully, "Why don't you turn on the air conditioner?"
Fang Zhicheng waved his hand and sighed, "It's too dry to sleep with the air conditioner on."
Zhao Qingya saw Fang Zhicheng's evil smile, her beautiful eyes rolled, she rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng, and said angrily: "What do you want?"
Fang Zhicheng whispered, "How about I sleep in your bed?"
"What about me?" Zhao Qingya said unhappily.
"You can sleep on my bed, or sleep with me," Fang Zhicheng suggested.
"You deserve a beating more and more!" Zhao Qingya waved her fist and quickly turned to the bedroom.
When she was almost at the door, she seemed to have sprained her ankle in anxiety. Before Fang Zhicheng could come to her aid, the door was slammed shut with a "click".
"I'm getting worse and worse." Fang Zhicheng despised his own dissolute behavior. He stretched his waist, urinated in the bathroom, then lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.
The next morning, Fang Zhicheng was awakened by Li Hui's phone call. After the Qi Group's special investment promotion conference, there were several more special investment promotion conferences to come. Although the scale was not that large, it was still worth a look. Fang Zhicheng focused on the Qi Group's 4 billion project and could not be distracted, so he instructed: "Sister Hui, you can handle the next investment promotion conference yourself, collect some useful information, and assign someone to follow up later."
Li Hui nodded, and after thinking for a long time, she asked, "Director Fang, did you not come back to sleep last night?"
Fang Zhicheng was slightly startled, then smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Sister Hui helped me guard the door all night last night. She even knew whether I returned to the room or not."
Li Hui was a little embarrassed and smiled awkwardly: "I just want to remind you that you still need to pay attention to your lifestyle, especially under the eyes of the Hainan Office, it is easy to cause gossip."
Fang Zhicheng hummed and said, "Thank you for your reminder."
Li Hui's reminder was very timely. It was a bit inappropriate for Fang Zhicheng to not return home last night. If it were to be heard by some people in the Hainan Office, it might be misinterpreted as having an improper lifestyle, which could be a serious flaw at the grassroots level.
The fact that Li Hui could say such a thing showed that she was sincere to him. Fang Zhicheng thought to himself that he had done nothing wrong in helping Li Hui out of the predicament last night at the expense of offending Qian Dechen. Li Hui was a woman with a conscience and a sense of gratitude.
After lying in bed for a while, Fang Zhicheng got up after hearing some noise outside. He saw Zhao Qingya preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Then she went to the bathroom to rinse her mouth and wash her face. When she came out, she found that breakfast was already on the dining table. Fang Zhicheng saw that Zhao Qingya's eyes were swollen and asked with concern, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
"It's none of your business!" Zhao Qingya snorted, poured Fang Zhicheng a glass of milk, and rolled her eyes at Fang Zhicheng.
After a while, Zhao Qingya asked, "How is the contact with the Qi Group going?" Yesterday, Fang Zhicheng mentioned to Zhao Qingya the purpose of this trip to Qiongjin, and Zhao Qingya had always kept it in mind.
Fang Zhicheng spread out his hands and said with a wry smile: "There are too many competitors. I am not sure if I can break through the siege."
Zhao Qingya smiled and whispered, "Then you have to grasp the key point."
Fang Zhicheng saw that Zhao Qingya had something else in her words, and asked in confusion: "What is the key to the Qi Group?"
Zhao Qingya stood up, took out a folder from her briefcase, and handed it to Fang Zhicheng, saying calmly: "The key is to distinguish the primary and secondary relationships and who has the decision-making power."
Fang Zhicheng put down the sandwich in his hand, took the folder, and pulled out the materials from it. He still couldn't understand it, and sighed: "I didn't expect you to investigate the Qi Group so much that you even dug up the details of their ancestors for eight generations."
Zhao Qingya said unhappily, "Business is like a battlefield, intelligence is the most important thing. The Qi Group will become our biggest enemy if they enter Huainan. If we don't prepare for a rainy day, won't we lose miserably?"
Fang Zhicheng held his chin and said calmly: "In fact, you can achieve a win-win situation." Qi's Group and Zhao's Hongda Group are consistent in many investment aspects. Hongda Group has a regional advantage, and Qi's Group is rich and powerful. If the two sides cooperate, it will be far more cost-effective than competing.
Zhao Qingya smiled bitterly and said, "The Qi Group is at a different level. We want to cooperate with them, but that depends on whether they are willing to play with us."

"This girl looks familiar!" Fang Zhicheng pointed at one of the photos. He vaguely remembered seeing her at the Qi Group's investment promotion meeting.
Zhao Qingya was obviously a little surprised and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to have such a sharp eye. She is the key to getting the investment from Qi Group this time."
Fang Zhicheng couldn't help frowning and looking at the girl's resume. Qi Yu, the eldest granddaughter of Qi Yunfan, chairman of Qi's Group, whose English name is Shelley, is 22 years old and graduated from Harvard Business School. He patted his forehead and finally remembered where he had seen her. He sighed, "The little girl who sat next to me that day, I didn't expect that she was really a person who didn't show her true face."
At a subsequent small negotiation meeting, Qi Yu always sat next to Fang Zhicheng. Seeing that she was young, Fang Zhicheng did not pay too much attention to her.
Zhao Qingya pointed at Qi Yu's resume and explained, "She is the heir apparent of the Qi Group, and the core industries of the Qi Group will revolve around her in the future. This is the first investment project she has come into contact with since returning from America, so although it may seem that Guo Peihua is standing in the foreground, in fact, how Qi Yu chooses is the key."
Qi Yu participated in this Huainan Province special investment promotion conference as the assistant to the president of Qi Group, hiding herself very deeply. On the one hand, the group was protecting Qi Yu and did not want to make the successor public to avoid forcing things to happen. On the other hand, it also hoped that Qi Yu would think about the direction of its layout on the mainland from a more objective perspective.
If Zhao Qingya had not pointed it out, the entire Huainan would probably have been confused by the smoke screen of the Qi Group and thought that the key point lay with Guo Peihua.
Today, the mainland market has become the key beachhead for major family businesses in Hong Kong, and the Qi Group also hopes that through this important move, it can provide important capital for the handover of the third-generation heirs.
"This girl is pretty!" Fang Zhicheng recalled the scene when they sat next to each other that day, and thought to himself that the photo was not as pretty as the real girl.
Zhao Qingya said sarcastically, "You just focus on whether she looks good or not."
Fang Zhicheng scratched his head and laughed softly: "As a man, the first reaction when judging a woman is to look at her appearance."
"Superficial..." Zhao Qingya curled her lips and said unhappily.
Fang Zhicheng chuckled twice and said, "It's the same for women. Can they tell how much a man has in his belly at first sight? Don't they judge people by appearance first?"
Zhao Qingya waved her hand, unwilling to continue arguing with Fang Zhicheng, and continued to eat breakfast.
After breakfast, Fang Zhicheng and Zhao Qingya parted ways and went to the special investment promotion site alone. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Hui standing up and waving at him not far away. Fang Zhicheng walked over with a smile, then took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and handed it over.
